Why Steven Nissenfeld chose Jerusalem

The neighborhood of Old Katamon has a romantic style, featuring beautifully designed houses with yards, pragmatically located close to the center of town. In the neighborhood are schools, preschools and synagogues of many different varieties; best known are the Shteiblich, Breslav (kabbalat shabbat is not to be missed), Ohel Nechama, Ramban, Shir Chadash, Shira Chadasha and Yakar. The population is a mixture of national religious, secular and chareidi, notably the ultra-Orthodox Erloi Chassidic group. Easy transportation to all cultural centers and entertainment.

A great value and an even greater place to host

A ten day visit to our daughters who live in Israel during Chanukah was made even more delightful because of the spaciousness and amenities of this flat. While we counted on our daughter who lives in TA staying with us for Shabbat, our other daughter also stayed with us on the weekends as well. The three bedroom layout suited us well for the situation, The four of us had ample space to enjoy Shabbat with guests for dinner and lunch and just sitting and schmoozing. We had a wonderful first light of Chanukah with many of their friends as our guests for latkes and the layout and seating served us well. The kitchen facilities were good for basic food preparation and for reheating carry-out meals. Meat and dairy were well marked and sufficient for most meals. There was an ample supply of linens, too.

The location is near many bus lines and nearby neighborhood food shopping. Emek Refaim is a 15 minute walk away. Canyon Hadar is close by as well along with a number of the larger food retailers.

We felt absolutely safe and secure in the flat. Parking is usually available on the street, but if not you can park the street over without a problem. Street noise is minimal.

For those seeking the sites of Jerusalem the flat is well located.

Check in and out were a breeze with the owner's attentive cousin who resides nearby. He was very helpful and always available to answer questions. The flat was clean and all appliances and lights worked, with a supply of extra bulbs if necessary.

The flat is excellent for any length of stay. We were there for 11 days, but would recommend it for any sizable amount of time (one month or more).

We would unhesitatingly recommend the flat to any of our friends and relatives.

Home away from home in Jerusalem

The apartment is in a great location close to many shuls, easy shopping and several buses a two minute walk away. We had a car, but used the buses to get around most of Jerusalem. Beautiful park a short walk behind the building. Good air conditioning for the summer. A nice balcony for breakfast. The kitchen was well equipped, a large dining area and spacious salon. Two good bedrooms and a smaller bedroom. Smaller master bathroom and larger main bathroom. Plenty of clean bedding and towels. Clothes washer dryer very handy. Very clean and completely ready for us. The owner's agent greeted us on arrival, explained everything to us, made certain we were settled in, and even called us three times during our stay to make sure we were OK. We will definitely return.

Home in jerusalem

Great location with lots of options for shuls, food and public transport. Second floor was difficult with a stroller but doable. The apartment was a nice size and having the washer a dryer was fantastic. The third bedroom is a squeeze but fine for kids.

Great stay

We rented the apartment during a working and vacation stay. The apartment is fine. provides all the facilities we needed, and the public trasportation (busses) to either the Hebrew University or the city center go frequently. Many synagogues of all kinds nearby. I would gladly come back.
